The way virResetError was used was incorrect: it can only be called

virConnCopyLastError returned a positive result. For some reason, in

You have to be careful because some libvirt calls return error
indications without first setting up any virterror. These cases are
bugs in libvirt of course, but wearisome to find. (Well, I suggested
a method using static analysis to find them, but don't have the time
to implement it right now).
In any case you have to be prepared for this situation. The OCaml
bindings turn these cases into a "fake" VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR /
VIR_FROM_NONE / VIR_ERR_ERROR.
